Not at all. I posted this to show the kind of mentality lower-ranked law schools try to create while overlooking the things that matter, such job placement and debt. I felt that this woman couldn't have been more stereotypically naive about the realities of the field.

"The Massachusetts School of Law has failed to win accreditation by the American Bar Association." Butthurt over not having their crappy school accredited, the school filed "an action in Federal Court in Philadelphia challenging some of the ABA's accreditation standards. . . . As a result of its actions the MSL and Department of Justice filed complaints against the ABA for antitrust violations."

I think that the ABA really needs to tighten their grip on which schools are accredited, but this is why it's so difficult. You have all these joke schools ready to initiate lawsuits if they don't get what they want, and they also apparently have the DOJ on their side. Ridiculous.

Hey now, SHE WAS MEANT TO DO THIS.

You'd think bombing the LSAT three times (even though it really has no bearing on how good of a lawyer you'll be) and getting rejected 34 times would've been a clue.

I want to know how low her LSAT was. She's a URM with "great grades," "great letters of rec," and experience working as a paralegal at the DOJ and she couldn't get into any accredited schools? I'd also like to see footage of her whipping students from Harvard and Syracuse, which are apparently peer schools.

This video is awful in so many ways, the most important of which is that its main purpose is to encourage people to make what will almost invariably be a bad decision. It doesn't matter that you can't break 150 on the LSAT, if you just want to be a lawyer bad enough all your dreams will come true!

Speaking of the LSAT, I'm glad to know that there is absolutely no correlation whatsoever between it and law school success. If you were to take a couple dozen kids with good grades, good softs and <150 LSAT's and drop them into say, Penn, they'd end end up spreading fairly evenly throughout the class, with no more than roughly half ending up below median.

MSL does not require the LSAT for admission. However, MSL administers its own rigorous examination (MSLAT) similar to the LSAT, requires letters of recommendations and interviews every applicant for admission.

WELL JESUS CHRIST, YOU WANT ME TO FILL OUT THE ENTIRE APPLICATION FORM TOO!?!

So let me get this right, you "smart" people have way overpaid for your legal education and never learned how to practice law but she doesn't deserve to compete with you 'cause your LSAT proves your much smarter? However, when she does get the chance she kicks the ass of schools far better than your third or fourth tier ABA accredited school. I think I understand now why your bitter. Keep on hating if it helps while you pay those loans over the next 30 years.

I agree that the LSAT can be a bit bogus, and is not the perfect indicator of success. However, I disagree with you that she kicked "peer" school mock trial teams. The video failed to provide more information on that, and this fact seems unlikely, so I doubt she "kick[ed] ass."
